Sure enough, there is one... and it is in such a hidden place... It is also convenient for inspection... Situ Xiu narrowed his eyes
"The rest, Li Wei."
The other eight people all had tattoos, also on the lower part of their chests, with a 10-centimeter-sized beast mark.
"Eunuch Hai, do you recognize these tattoos?" Li Wei asked.
"I don't know him. This is the first time I see him." Eunuch Hai shook his head.
Situ Xiu pondered for a moment and asked, "How much do you know about assassins?"
"Killer? Your Highness, are you talking about a death squad?" Eunuch Hai asked.
"Almost." Situ Xiu nodded. It turned out that the killers in this world were called death soldiers.
That’s right, a death warrior is a loyal person who is willing to die for others.
"Your Highness, I don't know much about death warriors. I only know that most people will raise death warriors. These people have been trained since childhood and are willing to die for their masters." Eunuch Hai said.
"I'm the same assassin that Eunuch Hai knows." Li Wei said.
The guys in the two palaces didn't even know the killer... Situ Xiu was speechless. There was a big difference between such assassins and killers. As assassins involved too many people, killers were different. They were an organization.
Anyone can hire a death squad, which means that these people tonight cannot find out who ordered them.
Because upper-class nobles and high-ranking officials can support them.
"Who could it be?! What's their purpose? Is it related to the recent cucumber sales?"
In the bedroom, Situ Xiu sat in the armchair, lost in thought.
"Could it be because of money? The crops I sold sparked greed among some people? So they want to know about these new agricultural products?"
"Or maybe it's the three Shangshu family's children, could it be them?"
"I feel it's impossible. Killing a member of the royal family is a serious crime. The three of them have conflicts with him, so it's obviously not wise at this time. The prince is missing, and the three of them are the most suspicious. Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, they will be considered suspects."
"But I've been staying in the palace the whole time, and apart from these three women, I haven't had any enemies with anyone."
"If... I mean, if the target is the royal family, that is, someone who has a grudge against the Great Sage, there are many people who suspect it, people from the Jianghu, people from other countries, people who have grievances with the Great Sage. If they can't kill the Empress, they will come to kill her children."
"Oh no! I seem to have been dragged into the Great Saint's struggle and become an innocent victim..."
Situ Xiu felt a headache and rubbed his head with his hands. His identity as a prince was quite dangerous, but he was a man, so there was no point in catching or killing him.
Even if she killed him, the empress would not cry. With her cold personality, how could she shed tears?
"Forget it. I don't care who it is. It will be exposed sooner or later. Now I have to find a way to increase my strength. If the killer who comes next time has the strength of the empress, then I will become a prisoner."
.......
The basement of a house in Kyoto.
In the bottomless, dark corridor, torches were lit on the walls on both sides, illuminating the dark basement.
At the end of the corridor was a spacious quiet room filled with dozens of people, all dressed in black and wearing masks.
On the platform in front of him stood a man, also wearing a mask.
"Has the mission failed?" the man asked in a deep voice.
One of them replied, "The people I sent were from the First Heaven Realm, and they must have failed. I don't know what happened, but after such a long time, there's still no news. It's likely that they met with an accident."
"Really? The Empress is really willing to do this. He's just a prince, but he has experts guarding him."
The man paused, then continued, "That's good. It means she values this prince very much and has specially sent experts. We must capture that boy before October."
"yes."
"How are the three princesses doing?"
"The eldest princess is in Kyoto and can't find an opportunity to attack. The second princess is in the Saint's Church and has no chance. The third princess is in the palace and has no chance either."
"Is there any news from Daluo and Taiyin?"
"According to the spies' report, Daluo has agreed, but Taiyin seems to have been slow to respond."
"Humph, Taiyin people are so stupid, they always remain neutral. I don't know what they are thinking."
